"You—!"
Liu Feng's face darkened. As deputy Sect Master of Cangming Sect and Peak Ninth-Order Dragon Transformation, he stood one step from the Divine Dao Realm and true power.
Yet this damn Lu Chen dared tell him to get lost?
Even the Sect Master had never spoken to him like that!
But today he came with a mission, so Liu Feng swallowed his rage.
"Heh-heh. Today, by order of our Sect Master, I bring congratulatory gifts."
He fished a jade bottle from his sleeve and offered it.
Lu Chen took it, lips curving. "Oh? A fourth-rank Devil-Quelling Pill?"
A fourth-rank Medicinal Pill was priceless.
It could briefly suppress demonic poison; had it arrived days earlier, Lu Chen would have wept gratitude and pledged lifelong servitude.
But now… he had utterly eradicated the poison!
The Nine Hells Heart Devouring Art's side-effects were too severe; with the System at hand, Lu Chen resolved to abandon it for good.
"No merit, no reward. Liu Feng, what do you mean by giving This Sect Master this?"
Liu Feng lowered his voice. "Some days ago, a Disciple encountered Elder Mu Hei in Xuanxiao Secret Realm seizing Loose Cultivator women.
"It seems Sect Master Lu's body has worsened; this pill can suppress the demonic poison."
He smiled thinly—he'd already made inquiries.
Every so often Lu Chen's body failed and his cultivation plummeted.
If they could learn the cycle, Cangming Sect could swallow Purple Nether Sect!
Besides, the pill contained something extra… enslaving Lu Chen would be perfect!
"No need. Deputy Liu, take your treasure back." Lu Chen tossed the Devil-Quelling Pill like trash.
\"Escort Deputy Liu to his seat.\
A dumbfounded Liu Feng was led away by Purple Nether Sect Disciples.
Damn it! Why won't Lu Chen play along?
One swallow and he'd have been completely under control!
"A weasel wishing a chicken New Year—never with good intent."
Once he was gone, Luo Shuangli sent a whisper: "Lu Chen, beware Cangming Sect!"
Lu Chen laced his fingers through hers. "My wife, worried about Your Husband?"
"…"
"The auspicious hour has arrived—let the bride and groom enter!"
The master of ceremonies' voice rang out.
Lu Chen led Luo Shuangli onto the platform; the rite was completed.
When the formalities ended, Luo Shuangli was escorted to the bridal chamber.
From this moment she was officially his wife.
A hundred tables filled the square; Lu Chen toasted each one. Even a Void God cultivator felt the wine's bite.
"Thank you all for honoring This Sect Master and my beloved's wedding—eat, drink, and leave only when you can't walk straight!"
Dizzy, he finished his thanks, slipped away, and headed for the palace.
Suddenly soft jade crashed into his chest.
"Brother Lu…" A sultry voice snapped him sober.
The girl stood half a head shorter, clad in gossamer-green feathery silk.
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry. Yu Xuan arrived too late for your wedding."
"Yu Xuan? Who…" A mental image of question marks popped up.
"Huh? Did evil cultivation fry your brain?
"I'm Lin Yuxuan! You saved me when we were kids!"
Lin Yuxuan pouted, cheeks puffing in protest.
[Ding! daughter of destiny detected!]
A flash of light only Lu Chen saw flickered across his eyes.
[daughter of destiny: Lin Yuxuan]
[Destiny Rank: Purple, Aptitude: Upper, Tai-Xuan Fourth Order, Physique: Primordial Spirit Body, Innate All-Enchanting Bones]
[Primordial Spirit Body: extreme affinity with Heavenly Dao; her primal yin is as precious as a Dao pill, can help a partner Breakthrough; after first union, body evolves into Innate Dao Embryo]
[Innate All-Enchanting Bones: an emperor's ultimate delight!]
"Ah… so it's Yu Xuan!"
After appraising her with Oblivion Gaze, Lu Chen had to admit—she was top-tier.
Her figure was stunning, waist the width of an A4 sheet.
"Three years and you've grown so big—nice, very nice!"
His eyes traveled over her; by sight alone, she was definitely a D-cup.
"Really? I feel I've grown too!"
Seeing he remembered, she patted her chest.
"Look, Brother Lu, I'm only half a head shorter now!"
She bounced to his side, hugging his arm tight; he felt every curve.
*Ahem.*
He coughed to hide his embarrassment. "Where have you been all these years?"
From the original's memories: at twelve, he'd rescued her from traffickers while out playing.
Lin Yuxuan was Sect Master Lin Canglan's beloved daughter; they'd kept in close contact until a few years ago.
"Three years ago Uncle Lu passed away. Once you began cultivating that evil art, Father locked me in Qingyang Sect.
"He feared I'd be hurt, but I knew you'd never harm me, right?"
She nestled against him; he could barely cope.
Lu Chen smiled a smile uglier than crying. "O-of course not."
"Today you married Sister Shuangli, but I begged Father for this Fertility Pill."
She produced a box; Lu Chen opened it and was pleasantly shocked.
The label read—"Fourth-Rank Fertility Pill: boosts reproductive power!"
With its help, the odds of conceiving with Luo Shuangli soared.
*Mwah!*
"Good girl, you're my lucky star!"
Her face flushed crimson, eyes turning flirtatious.
"Brother Lu, what do you think of me?"
Without thinking, he praised, "Gorgeous! Gentle! Generous—I'm out of words; you're amazing!"
No joke!
She was a daughter of destiny; bagging her would shower him with rewards!
And she possessed a Primordial Spirit Body.
He just had to figure out how to marry this alluring little beauty.
Hearing his praise
she shyly whispered
Since you like me, let Yu Xuan be your bride, okay?
